KIRBY DACH NEWS

Nearing return Head coach Martin St. Louis said Tuesday that Dach (lower body) will travel with the team on its upcoming four-game road trip and is expected to play at some point in the next week...

Impact St. Louis' comments point to Dach being unavailable for Wednesday's game in Calgary, but the 24-year-old option may be an option for the second half of a back-to-back against the Oilers on Thursday. Montreal's road trip concludes Oct. 28 in Seattle, so Dach isn't too far off from drawing back into the lineup after missing the last two games.

Unavailable Monday Dach (lower body) won't be in the lineup against Buffalo on Monday, per Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette.

Impact Dach remains day-to-day and will miss his second straight game. He has contributed one goal, one assist, six shots on net, five blocked shots and six hits through five outings this season. Due to Dach's absence, Joe Veleno will remain in the lineup after making his Montreal debut in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

Nets first goal of season Dach scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Kraken.

Impact Dach has centered the second line early in the campaign, earning two points over four contests. He's added four shots on net, five hits, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. Dach's in a good position, especially with a spot on the power play, but he'll need to stay healthy to cash in on all of that potential. He's played in at least 70 games just once in his first six NHL seasons.

Targeting Opening Night return Dach (knee) is on track to be ready to face the Maple Leafs on Oct. 8, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports Monday.

Impact Dach has been skating with his teammates, but may not be able to get into the lineup for the Habs during the preseason. While that could mean the 24-year-old gets off to a slow start to the season if he has to shake off some rust, he should be capable of challenging for the 30-point threshold if he can stay healthy this year -- something that's been a significant challenge for Dach in his young career.
